of people and then choosing the site's visitors for the most attractive person Mark
Zuckerberg created Face Match on October 28, 2003 when he was attending Harvard
University as a second-year student in the meantime.
According to Harvard Crimson, (FaceMatch) "used collages from the online photo
directory of nine university students with two photos next to each other and inviting
users to choose the 'most attractive' person." In order to create the site, Zuckerberg
hacked into protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied photos of
students in the dormitory.
Facebook OS:
Facebook launched the Facebook Platform operating system on May 24, 2007 and
relied on providing a framework for software developers in order to create applications
that can interact with Facebook's main features, and a programming language that
uses markup tags called Facebook Markup Language was introduced at the same time
and this language is used in order to customize the overall shape of the applications
that developers create.
